The First Lady Clerk.

+. f. Spinner, formerly Treasurer of
the United States, thus writes to the
Washington Post, in answer to letters
asking at what time were the first fe-
males appointed in the Treasury Depart
ment, and who was the first so employ
ed: "I answer in substance, as / posi-
lively knew the facts to be. that Miss
Jennie Douglass was the first one, and
that she and others were employed on
the mere mechan cal work of trimming
Treasury notes with shears. That on
the 9Th of October, 1862, the Secretary
of the Treasury, on my written nomin-
alton, appointed as clerks in the Office
of the Treasurer of the United States
as follows: Miss Annie York, Miss
Fannie l.. Halsted, Miss Belle S. Tracy,
Miss Jennie J.. Wall, Miss Libbie
Stoner, Miss Mary Burke, and Miss
Abbie G. Harris. now state that the
four of the seven that are first named l
selected from the ladies employed in
the note-clipping room, and the last
three named I selected from persons
outside, neither of whom had ever been
employed in the department.

regard to the first employment of
women in the Treasury, either as trim
mers of Treasury notes or as clerks, but
to set me right in regard to the fact
that it was through my instrumentality
that females were first employed in the
public Offices of the government of the
United States, both as -trimmers
and afterward as clerks.
Il confess to being somewhat sensi-
tive on this subject, for whatever other
little good / may have done in the
world, it is on this particular act of
doing justice to women that / pride
myself, and on which found my hope
of alvation-feeling sure that If st.

be he will without hesitation at once
let ma i'm on that ticket"

OBITUARY..

f, The sudden death of Miss Beccie
Yates is peculiarly sad on account of
the circumstances under which it oc-
CURED, and the misfortune has cast
gloom over the entire neighborhood in
which she was 30 well known and high
ly respected.
On Saturday, April 3Oth, she left for
Huntington Valley where she had been
employed to teach the Summer term of
school. On Sunday she arrived at the
residence of Mr.. E. Hudson, where she
had made arrangements to stop during
the Summer, and on Monday, the End
instant, went to her duties in the school
room. She taught Monday and Tues
day but on Wednesday she was too i'll
to leave the house aud her disease,
pneumonia, rapidly assumed danger
GUS character and DR.. Meigs was sent
for but upon his arrival, accompanied
by the mother of the sufferer, 1t was
found that her case was hopeless, and
death relieved her OF her sufferings on
Saturday afternoon, the 7th instant.
Miss Yates was quiet, industrious,
persevering young lady who by close
attention to her studies during past
years had thoroughly qualified herself
for the position of a teacher in which Gu.
pncity, during the few months Of her ex-
perience, she had given good satisfaction
and enrolled herself in the category
of successful teachers. BY her quiet
demeanor and l..dy-like behavior she
had endeared herself to large circle OF
intimate friends, who were panied and
shocked by the sad news of her sudden
demise. The sympathies Of the entire
community are extended to the be-
reaved family, in whose dire distress but
little affective consolation can be offered,
only trusting that Time, the great Heal
er, may bind mp the broken hearts and
reconcile them to the inevitable fate and
common lot of humanity. IL.
The remains will be brought here for
iLterment, and the funeral will take
place from the residence of the parents
of the Deceased to morrow.

TORONTO Oct 24.-An Ottawa dispatch
says: Additional evidence of the highland
ed way in which the United States officials
at Alaska have been conducting themselves
during the past few months with regard to
sealing vessels visiting Behring's Sea is ac-
cumulating here. Marshal Atkins appears to
have constituted himself guardian of the
claim to exclusive jurisdiction. set up by the
Washington authorities and has been any
thing but gentle in his treatment of the
sealers brought into Sitka. 1t is reported of
him that he elected half dozen Indian sail
ors from a Victorian schooner one night
when it was raining and hailing as only it
can rain and hail in that country. They did
not have anything to eat or any place to
sleep in. They came up around the court
house and Judge Dawson and some of the
citizens took pity on them and compelled
the marshal to let them GO back to the vessel
over niohtsc SCaptain Latin, owner. of one of
the seized American sehoeners,. says the
Alaska Commercial company is at the bot
tom of the whole trouble. He charges that
for years the American government revenue
cutters have been acting as towboats- for the
Commercial ,company's vessels, and now are
over energetic in pushing the claims of the
company tosalI Behring's Sea. Two Ameri'
can vessels, tie San Jose and Ellen, which
were boarded by the Rush, were ordered te
Sitka, but like the Alfred Adams, the Victo
| ria schooner, slipped away for home as soor
